Friday's Thoughts

I think the ideas we discussed were good. I think the microthemes will be good to0 use in my with my class. They love getting post-it notes. The fact that they don't have to write very much will be appreciated by many of them. Others will ask why they can't writes on the back. I also like the idea of the write arounds. This will get them more involved. They will get to see others thoughts and add to them. The write a question will be a good one to use, too. I also like the question and comment idea. There are so many different things to use to get the children moving along with their writing. This week has been interesting.

I agree on what you said about the post-it notes. Some will appreciate the small paper and other will want to write more. I think we will always have those 2 types of students in every bunch we get.

I agree with you, Mindy. We have many good ideas for writing to take back to our classroom this year.

I agree with your comments, Mindy.
Kids do love to use post-it notes, and will enjoy not having to write so much. Lots of good ideas this week. I enjoyed it.
